MORE MONEY WANTED.
The officers of the Reform School for Boys Ask
for an Increased Appropriation.

The legislative committee On prisons and re-
formatories, consisting of Messrs Blinks, Fleece,
Custer, Kelly of Boone. Kelly of Lagrange, Nc
Crea, Garrison of White, Cox of Miami spent
Sunday at the Reform School for Boys, at
Plainfeld, and. it is said, were highly pleased
with the management. They went out Saturday
evening. and returned yesterday morning. The
number OF boys in the institution is increasing
so rapidly that an increased appropriation will
be asked for this year. Said John G. Blake, the
chaplain of the institution. to Journal reporter
last night: Before another LEGISLATURE meets
there will be 600 boys in the institution.
We have calculated on yearly maintenance of a
boy at $120. At this rate it will require $72 900
to carry us through. The amount we ask is $7O,-
600, and the school cannot be conducted as it
should be unless it is given us. The mainten-
ance of the boys is greatly lessened by the farm
we cultivate. but our employees come higher than
some suppose. A man who makes good prison
guard will not do for an officer at the Reform
School We have to employ men Of education
and refinement, and in order to secure them
have to pay them we'll. No other State in the
Union has an institution that is doing such good
work, and its efficiency should not be impaired"

The Philosophy of Dancing.
Macmilian's Magazine.

1t seems to me that there is something
subtler, something more real in dancing
than shese rather superficial distinctions,
interesting as they may Ke to the ordi-
nary observer, useful as they must be to
the one who is treating dancing from a
merely historical standpoint. All human
knowledge, we are told, is relative; so is
all dancing. In nancing, as In every
thing else, there is an ideal, an ideal
ever attainable, but toward which all
dancing should tend. As the ideal poet
is one who writes poetry purely for po-
etry's sake, so the ideal dancer is one who
dances purely for dancing's sake. As all
motives of gain, nay, all moral and ethi-
cal tendencies, while they may magnify
and popularize a poem, lessons its value
as pure poetry, so all extraneous motives
detract from the purity of dancing. 1t is
true that this ideal Is never reached, but
some dancing approaches it much more
nearly than others. The dances included

only parallel among US. The secular ele-
ment has invaded the other representa-
tlves of this Observation-Disclosures and the
choruses in the balleSs; in the former the
end Is health, in the latter the earning of
money, or something else, which ought
to be equally subsidiary. Plainly it is
not in this class that we are to look for
dancing for dancing's sake.

The Prisoner was Released.

Circuit Judge McCallum, of Iowa, be-
gan his career at the bar enthusiastically.
His first case was before Justice of
marked morality, who was extremely
harsh with criminals. The weakness of
the old puritan was his veneration for
veterans of the war, all of whom he
esteemed as unrewarded heroes. Mccall
lum had fought four years. His client
was thief. "The only thing | can do
for you" said McCallum, after having
gained the mans confidence, sis to i'm
plore the mercy of the court. When you
go on the stand tell the whole TRUTH
The man had stolen COW, killed it,
sold the hide, and taken the carcass home
to his family, which was really Suffering
for the necessaries of life. The prosecu-
ton, with a long line of witnesses, had
made perfect case, and the brow of the
Justice was draped in ominous frowns
when the prisoner was called. The latter
did as directed by his attorney, conceal
ing nothing the almost starving
condition of his wife and family to dress
ing of the stolen beef
Now, your hCnor,n said McCallum,

IS guilty. He has hidden nothing from

ever transgressed the laws. He was in

even admire Ia brutes." Then turning to
the prisoner as if the fact had nearly
escaped him; McCallum said: 'By the
way, you were soldier in the late war,

Curiosity Hunting.

What will people not collect in this
curious age, find what prices will they
not pay for things apparently valueless
few objects can seem less desirable than
an old postage-stamp, yet our Paris cor
respondent informs US that postage
stamps are at premium in the capital of
taste and of pleasure. A well-known
dealer offers 81 los. for every Tuscan
stamp earlier than $780, and e16 for par
ticularly fine examples. Mauritius stamp
of 1847 are estimated by the purchaser,
mind, at 1000 francs, and postmarks OF
British Guiana of 1886 from 500 to 1000
francs. Eighty pounds for a soiled bit
of paper that has no beauty to recon-
mend it. Probably no drawing of the
same size from the very hand of RaffaelIe
or LEONARDO would be priced nearly SO
high as these grubby old stamps. Yet
the drawing would be not only thing of
art, beautiful IN itself, but also personal
relic of a famous artist whose pencil
touched it, while stamp is relic of
nothing but some forgotten postal ar
rangement with colony. We do not
know, moreover, how much the dealer
will ask for these stamps when once he
gets hold of them, and his rich collectors
at his mercy. In no trade do the buyers
price and the sellers price differ with
such wide margins as in the commerce of
curiosities, especially, perhaps, in the
book trade. People find that they
possess books highly priced in dealers
catalogues, and, if they gant money, they
carry their treasures to the dealers. But
advantage seldom comes of it, The
dealer has a different price, very often
when he is purchaser. This intelligi-

before the Christian era the Jews wore shoes of
wood or leather, Soldiers sometimes had shoes

instead of leather The Chinese wole silk, linen,

were of leather In early times, in En- eland
such extremes that the aris.ocrats had long
twisted points to their toes, stuffed out with tow
and bent up like rams horn. Buckles came
